A/DA Flanger from lectricfx Flintlock. All of these three were laser etched in Rowmark LaserMax plastic. LEDs are hidden under faceplate (had to carefully drill through the back to get them to shine through. Still waiting on a switching jack for the expression pedal. Sounds ridiculously great! Very difficult for me to calibrate. In short, neither multimeter I had could track the frequency calibration in the higher ranges (random drop outs to zero). Took it to work and saw on a scope that the frequency gets noisy after about 1 MHz. A really good frequency counter solved it and let me get it locked in. Watch the Moosapotamus videos on calibration as well. Very helpful.l

MXR 117 Flanger from Madbean Collosalus. Had given up on it about a year ago due to a fire engine siren at all settings. Finally realized my cap for setting the clock frequency was 47n instead of 47pF :o. Fixed that and its golden. Great sounding pedal!

Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress from Madbean Current Lover. Another great circuit, and a rediculous reduction in size form the original pedal. That is Anne Bancroft (Mrs. Robinson) from The Graduate.

FLANGER CATS UNITE!

Wow, these look truly spectacular! Love the way the eyes light up without over-obvious led-i-ness.

Excellent work.  The eyes are very nicely done.

If you make a few more, you could form Flanger Voltron.  :P

Right now the A/DA clone seems the most versatile and the most stable, but I honestly want to revisit the calibrations on the other two. They sound like they are all good for different sounds.

Love the sequence there.
Did you build the lion and tiger pedals just to set up the cougar punchline?  ;D

I'll admit it's a long way to go for a joke, but in the end, no regrets😜

🙂I've got the board, but am planning a Lovetone series with BillSteins duotone faceplate stylings.

Great etches and builds. Looks like you have TONS of flange on tap.
